Al Ahli Jeddah
- Al Ahli Jeddah’s boss, Matthias Jaissle, plays an intense, possession-based game, very similar to that which has become synonymous with Red Bull clubs around the world.
- Franck Kessie is the engine of Jaissle’s team and provides the team with a balance of steel and dynamism in the engine room.
- They are averaging 2.50 goals per game at their fortress.
- Riyad Mahrez has been a brilliant fit in this team, providing creativity and supporting the strikers from deep.
- Ivan Toney is the star, however, netting 27 goals in 28 league games and scoring 2 of his side’s last 5 goals.
Al Akhdoud
- Fathi Al Jabal has done a good job since taking over at Al Akhdoud, but the bottom line is that they still have only 16 points from 29 games and are in the relegation zone.
- Al Jabal has focused on being solid defensively and disciplined in a deep block, and that is likely to be the case here.
- Saeed Al-Rubaie leads the line for Al Akhdoud with just 4 goals from 19 league appearances this term, but he is one of the few players who can offer a spark in attack.
- Brazilian winger Leandrinho is another key man for Al Akhdoud and provides pace and directness on the counter.
